Therapy jobs ArizonaWondering what therapy jobs Arizona [1] has to offer? If you're looking to be happy with what you do, you may want to consider a career as a physical therapist.

A recent survey from the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago [2] named physical therapists as the second-most satisfying job, behind only clergy members. These employees work an average of 42.5 hours per week and earn about $72,106 per year.

You might be surprised to learn that the majority of employees, about 88 percent, are satisfied with their jobs, while 50 percent are very satisfied, and only 4 percent are very dissatisfied. That being said, an employee's satisfaction at work often hinges upon pay and growth potential.

Luckily, there are several jobs out there that many people seem to love. Most of these positions involve helping others [3] and don't require any sort of heavy physical labor - things to consider if you're thinking about switching careers.

The 10 most satisfying careers, along with weekly hours and yearly pay, include:

  1. Clergy - 52.5, $42,248
  2. Physical therapist - 42.5, $72,106
  3. Firefighter - 55, $44,218
  4. School principal - 47.5, $83,120
  5. Artist - 45, $43,353
  6. Teacher - 45, $53,076
  7. Author - 45, $52,281
  8. Psychologist - 45, $82,258
  9. Special education teacher - 45, $41,486
  10. Construction machinery operator - 45, $39,168
